Gumball's P.O.V.
It was the middle of summer. Now, for some people, that means;
a) Swimming (At the beach)
b) Ice cream (At the beach)
c) Warm summer nights with someone special (At the beach)
d) Barbecues (At the beach)
and e) Volleyball (At the beach)
For me, it meant;
a) Dealing with hot, flustered and generally irritable Candy People (In the Candy Kingdom)
b) Being force-fed fancy dishes by Peppermint Maid (In the Candy Kingdom)
c) Falling into bed, exhausted, without being able to spend a single moment with Marcy
d) Hosting ball after festival after ball after gala after friggin' ball (In the Candy Kingdom)
and e) Delegating (In the Candy Kingdom)
So, in between all of this lovely 'summer fun', I finally managed to put aside some time to go visit Marceline.
I walked into her house, having travelled to her cave on foot. "Hey, Marcy! You in here?" I called, pushing the door closed.
"Yeah, I'm upstairs!" She yelled.
I climbed up the ladder and saw her sitting on her bed in dressing gown, biting her lip and staring at a half-packed suitcase.
"Going somewhere?" I joked, plopping down next to her and wrapping my arms around her.
"Yeah, Mom wants me back in the Nightosphere." She said.
My face fell, my stomach dropped and my arms tightened slightly around her. "Not... not forever, right?"
"Huh? Oh, no, of course not! You know how Marshall disappears for a week or so about every three months?"
"Um... yeah?"
"Mom and Dad get us to come home once a season to visit them." She explained. She suddenly brightened. "Hey, you could come, too!"
"Really? That'd be okay?"
"Yeah, and since Marsh and Fi have made up, she can come, too!" She said decisively.
"Okay, sounds good!" I smiled, thinking that of course, Marshall Lee and Fionna would hve no say whatsoever in this turn of events.
